i'll be turning 26 on the 26th this year! you only get one of those ___ on the ___ birthdays, so i better live it up! i'm trying to decide what big extravaganza we'll have for my 2011 born day....
oh wait, we are about to spend
$15,000 (plus) dollars on a wedding.
well, in that case, i guess i'll just order take out and watch hbo with polotek.
on the upside, i got an awesome birthday gift from a friend this past weekend. it
is being used, and will continue to be used!

| so purrrrty. |
this gorgeous little gem is a
ceramic ring holder -- aka operaqueenie-ass-saver. because jean pockets are
evil crevices that no one should give into the temptation of putting valuable things inside. ok, that was a tad melodramatic. but i
could go the rest of my life without experiencing
the insanity of losing my ring again. insurance coverage is underway.
in other news, remember that
wedding fair i went to a while ago? well,
THIS GIRL put her name in a basket for a free engagement photo shoot and won!!! SNAP! now, i would have much preferred to put my name in for something and won myself a
free wedding, but, 'tis the luck of the draw. besides, i never win anything in raffles and the like, so i will rejoice in this victory.
i will also rejoice in the fact that ananda shorey (yes, with an N, and not an M), the face behind the photos of
bliss fotography, is very talented and also very awesome for shooting our ugly mugs gratis. now i'm prepping things for the shoot which is
this saturday at the
ferry building (my east coast peeps, check out the hyperlink if you are unfamiliar with SF landmarks).
that means it's time to tame the mane, press the clothes, veet the legs, paint the nails, wax the furry... brows. i can't wait to dish about the experience and the photos! squeeeeeeeee!
my wedding goddess, the one-and-only schniz, already sent me some inspiration for the shoot...lots of pretty pictures i love to look at. there is
this one...i'm so in love with her tulle skirt. there is actually
a fantastic etsy shop that she appears to have gotten hers from. i must have one...putting it in the sewing projects queue!
i'm also a fan of
this shoot. i dig her style, it feels somewhat reminiscent of my own...
and i like the use of props in photos. i much prefer fun prop shots to a bunch of canoodly kissy pictures. polotek and i are thinking of incorporating a couple things or elements that people identify with us as a couple -- our little whiteboard, our iphones / laptops / miscellaneous apple devices, movies, music (my guitar?). i think it's really neat how
this couple incorporated the banner and scrabble pieces!
alright, so let me know if you have any cool ideas for our shoot -- and let me know
quick, because we only have 1 day!!!
